  1. The only thing flowing through me is the vomit out of my mouth. I guess it could be worse though - yours obviously spews !@#$!
  2. Spoken like a true stranger to the ideals and principles that guide Pacifica today. 0/10 - Would undergo electro-shock therapy to remove the memories of reading this thread from my mind.
  3. Grim Tidings indeed. These truly are troubling times for Orange Sphere nations... ...finding presents for you guys is so hard! Happy Birthday!
  4. Congrats on a hard fought war by all parties.
  5. To be fair, that's a direct quote. It's not like the team over at PNN made that up to score political points, as you're implying. We asked the questions, and printed the answers.
  6. I believe that the issue here is that these stats were compiled under the basis that Kaskus was involved in a separate conflict.
  7. Congrats on peace. You all fought with honor.
  8. Yes, if you could get those stats to reflect war start on 10-31-2013 then this would be an awesome thing. As it is now, it discounts the first few rounds of the war which is throwing the numbers you have off a few thousand NS vs. the numbers I've kept on my own from the War Stats. Thanks for this though.
  9. I'm just disgusted that anyone would attempt an assault on a member of the GPA. I hope you get this worked out, or else they may need that war flag after all.

    Winter

    Like many of you, I live in a part of the world that is experiencing record low temperatures this winter. We've had an abnormal amount of wind here, and quite often that has knocked out internet access, power, or drifted the roads over. None of those things phase me too much, after all, living in relative isolation from other households, one prepares for these events. Driving isn't a problem, even in my little coupe, unless the other drivers make it one. There is plenty of gas for the generator, and plenty of food in the pantry. It's easy during this time of year to become even more isolated than one already was. No one wants to venture out into subzero wind chills and interact with humanity. Hell, I don't even like interacting with humanity in the summer time. Summer, when instead of cursing the wind, one revels in the cool comfort as it wraps around them. Eventually our desire for human contact takes over, as mine did, and instead of the relative comfort of home one finds themselves trekking again out into the wintery abyss. My journey took me to see a film, Gimme Shelter, starring Vanessa Hudgens. You can follow the link to view the trailer, or to learn more about the film. For me, it was the perfect winter movie: dark, raw, emotional. I was brought to tears throughout the film. That was awkward, given that the only other patrons were a young couple, doing things young couples do in movies. But I'm getting sidetracked; what I mean to tell you is that this movie is perfect viewing for those of us who lose humanity over the winter months. Be prepared, however, to have it all come flooding back. One last thing to share with you all, and that is a poem I found. While I'm taking it from The Pocket Book of Verse (1956 New York, N.Y.) it most certainly did not appear there first. Thus, someone with a more complete library than the meager collection of used and discount books that I have collected over the years may be able to piece together a more complete edition. I suppose I could just Google it, but where is the fun in that?
  11. E-Mails sent from the forum to notify users of a reply (such as to a blog, topic, or post depending on user settings) are sent uncensored.
  12. It's more meta than that. I made a blog post critiquing a blog post critiquing all the recent blog postings. Can Lannister News Network take us one level deeper?
  13. Who needs Fox News when you have Faux News! Read all about the 'scandal' that lead Tywin to move LNN to the OWF here on Faux News.

    Very meta.

    If people want to hear what you have to say, they're going to find your content one way or the other.
  15. This Week on Faux News Monday January 27th, 2014 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lannister Unhinged? Image Courtesy DeviantArtAuthor of the CN Blog Series Accuses Community of "pathetic attempts to silence free speech" The Lannister News Network this morning issued a new report claiming that recent blog posts were made by members of the CN Community in an attempt to lower the visibility of LNN's programming. The author and founder of the Lannister News Network, Tywin Lannister, accused several members of the community of participating in a campaign against "free thought and intellectual speech" using what he defines as "blog spam" to remove his latest blog, Talking Points Memo: Farrin's PR offensive, from the list of most recent blog posts. We caught up with Mr. Lannister in #polaris on the Coldfront IRC network and sought out the basis of these radical accusations. Mr. Lannister was combative throughout the interview, and refused to answer several questions. He provided no evidence to support his claim that these recent blogs were anything other than a coincidence. Instead, Mr. Lannister provided this comment: Now, while I have my doubts as to Mr. Lannister's ability to predict the future, I'll save those for another day. When pushed as to why these recent posts were defined, in his views, as a campaign against the Lannister News Network, Mr. Lannister appeared to contradict the LNN report, instead stating: We apologize to our younger viewers that we were forced to censor Mr. Lannister's comments. Faux News is committed to family friendly programming, and that language is not tolerated on our network. We asked Mr. Lannister about the importance of having the LNN appear in the most recent blog posts, and we also asked him about alternative viewing methods. In response, Mr. Lannister accused the other blog posts of lacking in relevance: We again apologize for Mr. Lannister's vulgarity in this interview. Now, Faux News investigated Mr. Lannister's claims that recent blogs were "garbage" and "lulz", and determined that only one was even close to fitting that criteria. We caught up with the author of that blog, BringMeTheHorizon, and asked him about Mr. Lannister's radical accusations: Now, I read Mr. Lannister's program frequently, and while I don't always agree with the content I respect his right to say it. We here at Faux News hold freedom of speech in the highest regard, and that is why we decided to investigate this issue. However, our investigation can reach no other conclusion that Mr. Lannister is simply attempting to stir up among his readers a sensation of mistrust and outright hatred towards those who LNN opposes politically. There is no evidence to support any sort of conspiracy against Mr. Lannister personally, LNN, or any of LNN's individual programs. We suspect that the influx of alternate community content simply made Mr. Lannister nervous, with the possibility that viewership to his blog would drop without the free exposure being listed in the most recent blog posts provides. You decide! Vote in the poll and let's hear your thoughts on this issue in the comments below. Were the recent blog posts created to reduce viewership of LNN? We leave you now with our final thought: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Faux News is an Independent Production Faux News, because pixels.
  16. --------------------- Nice treaty you two. Stay safe out there.
